Wearing correct school uniform is an essential part of being a student at Breckland School. We have high expectations of our students and expect them to dress smartly. It is Breckland School School policy that all students wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We ask that all parents support the school uniform policy.
Questions should be raised with us before buying item(s) which may not conform to our expectations.
Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
- Promotes a sense of pride in the school
- Is practical, smart and affordable
- Identifies students of the school and engenders a sense of community and belonging
- Promotes equality amongst the students in terms of appearance
Role of Parents and Carers
We ask that all parents and carers support the school uniform policy. We believe that parents have the duty to send their children to school correctly dressed and ready for their schoolwork. One of the responsibilities of parents and carers is to ensure their child is wearing the correct uniform, and that it is clean and in good repair.
